Sheriff's officers recovered all of this, aside from the pistol, from a single apartment.

MILLVILLE – Two men were charged with a slew of drug and

They were both committed to the Cumberland County Jail in
lieu of $25,000 bail.

Sheriff's officers were serving warrants in Millville when
they received some information about a house on the 300 block of East Pine
Street that was being used for prostitution.

When they arrived at that address they found James D.
Vaites, 63, of Franklin Drive in Mullica Hill, walking out of the front door
and arrested both him and the occupant, Emily Kaffenberger, 25. The officers
were able to determine that Vaites had paid Kaffenberger $40 for a sexual act.

Vaites was charged with prostitution and released on his own
recognizance while Kaffenberger was charged with promoting prostitution,
prostitution, and for a contempt of court warrant. She was committed to the
Cumberland County Jail in lieu of $2,500 bail.

While investigating further at that residence, the officers
were led to an apartment, where they found Arroyo and Elias sitting among a
potpourri of drugs, weapons, and cash.

They were both promptly arrested, and officers found six
green oval pills stuffed into a Girl Scout cookie box, a large chunk of crack
cocaine, 14 bags of heroin, an illegally owned Daisy BB gun, 80 syringes, a
gravity knife, and some marijuana, among other things. Arroyo had $90 in his pocket, while Elias
had $720.

Further investigation led the officers to Elias's North 2nd
Street residence where they found a .22 caliber pistol that had been stolen
during a Franklin Township burglary, leading to him being charged with
receiving stolen property, and once again for unlawful possession of a weapon.
